Upcycle Your Faux Pearl Necklace Into Chic Purse Handle

Easy Summer DIY

I find it very gratifying, when I manage to upcycle some item of footwear, jewelry or clothing. It declutters my closet replacing items I no longer wear with items that I can make use of every week. It saves me money, which I can use to effort vacations for my family as well as make different sized contributions to my favorite charities. Upcycling also lets me work with my hands and create [sometimes, not always, I’m afraid] beautiful things that I enjoy wearing.

Do you remember, a few years back, heavy faux pearls necklaces were in? I’ve had one laying around for a while now.

I decided to take the necklace apart and make a new, lighter version of a handle for my purse. Something chic and summer appropriate.

After taking the necklace apart I thread each individual pearl through with a golden tone wire and then connected the individual pearls on a wire by making loops on each end of the wires.

I kept connecting the pearls till I had a desired length for the future handle.
